Last week Second City Film Students got to speak with Emmy award winning producer, Marsha Posner . Marsha discussed her time on The Golden Girls and shared invaluable insights on how to navigate the entertainment industry as young creatives. Film School students left with a greater understanding of qualities they should seek in other collaborators, as well as what producers and directors look for in their team. We are so thankful for her wisdom on how to create iconic shows that stand the test of time! A huge thank you to Marsha and her husband, Wayne Williams, for sharing their time with us.
